I have a bogus administrative exercise to respond to.. I've been asked to justify using an Iris over a SPARC for work that involves 3D modeling, and could possibly expand into some virtual reality work. If anyone has concrete comparisons between the two machines (including hardware differences especially) it would be very helpful. Mail if you can, our newser is acting up.

I want to thank those who responded to my earlier posting regarding performance of SG vs. SPARC. I did get a few numbers that may help, but it seems a pretty futile exercise -- anyone who needs the argument isn't going to get it anyway.

A final comment about my question about SPARCS vs. SG machines: my point that I was engaged in a futile exercise (rating them) was that the differences for our application are so crucial (and obvious) that the fact that I had to justify it was indicative of true bureacratic ignorance. Just my cynicism in having to reply to it. -- ---------------------------------v------------------------------------ InterNet: jclose@ads.com | VoiceNet: 703-243-1611 ADS, 1500 Wilson Blvd #512 | "Now it's time for something you'll Arlington, VA 22209 | REALLY like.." - Rocky the Squirrel
